قراءةٌ في رواية "شرفة الهذَيان" لإبراهيم نصرالله

الملخص EN

This study is concerned with the narrative atmosphere which was set up by the novel 'The Balcony of Raving' that is: the historical moment when the new international system started formation, that is the same period in which the Arab system was seeking a solution or a way out precisely in the wake of the occupation of Kuwait and through the events of September 11, until the end of the collapse of Iraq.

Hereafter, the importance of the novel appears since it stopped by the point of the modern Arab civilization's dispute with the other and what this era has produced of the culture residues that sneaked into the depth of the individual, society and era, forming a congruity of the culture: like the culture of fear and the culture of cage to the extent that the Arab citizen started to imagine that he lives in a cage and the Arab homeland has become a jail.

The study showed that the new international system stood against the 'theory of security' through which it oppressed freedom.

The study also drew attention to the importance of the conscious study which turns no head to the form and exterior but focuses on the depths.

It stood where the cover, title, introduction and the end are.

Also it stood at the mind of this system and its visions that uprise against hegemony, possession and the negation of the others.

The study unveiled the portrait of the Arab system through the portrait of "the policeman", the portrait of the Arab citizen through the character of the bird and the portrait of the 'new international system' through the character of the hawk.

The study showed how fake were the tiddings of the system and how it became a horrendous nightmare for its citizen, how killing for the human souls and how void of values the system is.
